Half and half

The world is like a swing forbidden to childrenThe more one side goes upThe more the other side goes downAbove it's blue skiesBelow it's tears in your eyesNot too much, not too littleThere must be a middle way

The world is like an unforgiving stupid hour glassThe more one half fills the more the other emptiesBelow it's ready to burstAbove nothing more to giveSo many things to changeMake it half and half

Love is half and halfAlways make it half and halfSharing happinessImprisons misfortuneLove is half and halfAlways make it half and halfAll the good which you giveImprisons the bad

But somewhere an errant plane crashes in the desertAnd the book of life returns to dustThe angel of fortune has struckThe spirit has fledThe message remainsWe are going to make it half and half

Love is half and halfAlways make it half and halfSharing happinessImprisons misfortuneLove is half and halfAlways make it half and halfAll the good which you giveImprisons the bad

Love is half and halfAlways make it half and halfSharing happinessImprisons misfortuneLove is half and halfAlways make it half and halfAll the good which you giveImprisons the bad
